As a big fan of most EPC cigars I was glad to see the arrival of the E P Carrillo Short Run 2012<\/a>.\u00a0 It contains the same wrapper as the EPC New Wave Connecticut<\/a> and the same binder\/filler as the EPC Core Maduro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wrapper: Ecuador Connecticut
\nBinder: Connecticut Broadleaf
\nFiller: Nicaraguan\/Dominican<\/p>\n

Exquisitos 4 7\/8 x 50
\nInvictos 5 7\/8 x 52
\nReinados 6 \u00bc x 60<\/p>\n

Pre-light:\u00a0 The Short Run 2012 has a nice Connecticut Shade Grown wrapper with minimal veins to it.\u00a0 Same band as the NWC with a secondary SR 2012 added.\u00a0 Pre-light draw was a little bit of cedar, hay and a little spice to it.\u00a0 The feel of the cigar isn\u2019t overly packed with tobacco, in fact it seems a little spongey but very consistent throughout.<\/p>\n

\"EFirst Third:\u00a0 Upon lighting the draw and burn have been great. Flavor and strength I would say are on the mild to medium side, but picked up a little bit as I finish the first third.\u00a0 I am getting a little bit of spice and cedar with a hint of a sweet tobacco taste as well.\u00a0 I can\u2019t quite put my finger on it but there seems to be a little hint of a mint taste to it as well in the first third.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"ESecond Third:\u00a0 As I make my way through the second third, the cigar has picked up slightly in strength with a bit of a peppery burn to the retrohale.\u00a0 Ash held on tight for about 2 inches before falling off and is a very marbled medium gray color.\u00a0 The spice and hay have picked up a bit and I am still getting a little of that mint flavor noted in the first third.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"EFinal Third:\u00a0 In to the final third I am getting huge plumes of smoke, this cigar is burning great as well.\u00a0 The cedar\/pepper has built up in strength the entire smoke and that \u201cminty\u201d flavor has faded in to the background.\u00a0 As expected with the Connecticut Shade wrapper, the cigar never really got past Medium in strength but was a little past Medium in flavor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I felt the folks at EPC did a great job with this years Short Run and it is nice they changed it up from the past two years a bit more. I am finding I really enjoy most cigars that EPC has to offer.\u00a0 Suggested retail on the Short Run is between a little over $6 and just under $9 for the various sizes, which to me seems like a great price for a great cigar!<\/p>\n

The E P Carrillo Short Run 2012<\/a> should be hitting our stores the week of March 5, 2012, stay tuned for more details!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
